Forget your fears of dihydrogen monoxide.
There's another chemical that's just as insidious and deadly.
Hydrogen hydroxide.
It is lethal to inhale.
It can cause roadways to become dangerously slippery with only a very fine layer.
It is dangerously addictive, withdrawal invariably leads to death. Even worse, this addiction can be passed from the mother to the child in the womb. You or someone you love may be addicted right now and not even know it!
Government agencies are piping into your home!
While one should be wary of dihydrogen monoxide, you should inform yourself of the dangers of hydrogen hydroxide as well since this compound is at least as common and perhaps even more so.
EDIT:
I have been recently informed that certain agencies have been touting Hydrogen Hydroxide as a safer alternative to Dihydrogen Monoxide. Do not be lulled into complacency!
Been a while since my last chemistry class, but I believe Hydrogen Hydroxide seems a MUCH more valid name for it, especially when you think about in in terms of pH values and pOH values for chemicals.
